(MMI) in the amount of $378,950.00 for design, bidding and construction administration services on Schedule 2 of the 2019 Sanitary Sewer  Replacement Project. The City replaces and upgrades its sanitary sewer utilities as part of an annual maintenance program.  Schedule 2 replace approximately 3,500 feet of sewer in Montana Avenue from North 15th Street to North 18th Street and in the alley between Montana Avenue and 1st Avenue North from North 18th Street to North 21st Street.

City Council may:

• Approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to Morrison-Maierle, Inc., or;
